tumorous frpartmrnt. The Dec?y Half Crown. John Perclval, Bishop of Hereford, attended the International Peu<-?> congress In Boston. A lifelong friend of the prelate's said of him with a smile: When Dr. Perclval lived In Birmingham he went one Sunday to preach in a village on the Humber. "The village church was small, and only one person was needed to take up the collection. This person, an aged man with an intelligent face, passed up and down the aisles with the collection basket, and at the end, came into the chancel and advanced to lay the money on the sacrament table. As he came forward with his back to the nnnmntinn ho did ft dreadful thing. From the collection, which was unusually generous, he took a silver half crown, and this coin he slipped quietly Into his pocket. "No one had seen him but Dr. Per- I clval. Dr. Perclval was horrified, but he said nothing. As he preached the perfidious old man sat and listened with a righteous air. The minister could scarcely refrain from denouncing him. "At the sermon's end the old man was the first to offer his congratulations. " 'An excellent sermon, sir,' he said. 'The people of Birmingham are to be envied.' " 'I wish to speak to you,' said Dr. Perclval. 'I wish to see you alone. Walt for me." "The old man waited, and after the little church had emptied Itself, Dr. Perclval said: " 'I saw you take a half crown from the collection basket. Why did you do itr " "The old man smiled. " 'Is that what was worrying you, sir?' he said. 'Well, make your mind easy. That half crown has done duty this many a year. I keep it to put in the basket first, and then our town's Utical prophecy that had been printed In a London newspaper. Mr. Redmond read the prophecy. Then he smiled. "This," he said, "Is hyperbolical. It Is as hyperbolical as the mosquito story that a resident of New Jersey told me the other day. "This gentleman desired to Impress upon me the great size and ferocity of the New Jersey mosquitoes. He said: " 'I had a valuable cow in the spring, and usually I kept her In the stable, for the mosquitoes were growing in size and in numbers, and I feared that they might do her harm. " 'One hot, cloudy, humid day, though, I permitted the cow to pasture In a marshy field. She spent the day In the field, and toward evening I went with one of the farm boys to bring her home to the milking. " 'Alas, her skeleton lay beneath a tree, and on an adjacent fence sat a mosquito, picking his teeth with one of her horns.'" A Lrrru: Too Tight.?One of "Joe" Blackburn's friends tells a story which dates back to the time when that distinguished gentleman was rather a dandy In the fashion of a forgotten period. He o-\lered a pair of trousers from his tailor, and he expressly stipulated that they were to be skin tight. The trousers came home, and the senator tried them on. He went right to the tailor and opened fire on him. "What in the Kentucky-synonyms for places-not-on-the-map do you mean by sending me trousers like that?" he shouted. "Why, you said to make them skin tight," said the tailor. "Skin tight!" yelled the senator. "Yes, by thls-and-that, I said skin tight. I wanted them merely skin tight. I can sit down in my skin and I can't in these."?Washington Post. A Pleasant Story.?A pleasant story about Andrew Carnegie was brought from Scotland last week by a tourist. "At Skibo Castle," the tourist said, "Mr. Carnegie had during the summer a beautiful rose garden. There were thousands of red and white and yellow roses always blooming there, and the villagers were free to saunter in the garden paths to their hearts' content. "One day the head gardener waited upon Mr. Carnegie. " 'Sir,' he said, 'I wish to lodge a complaint.' "'Well?* said the master. " 'Well, sir,' the gardener began, 'I wish to inform you that the village folk are plucking the roses in your rose garden. They are denuding your rose trees, sir.' " 'Ah.' said Mr. Carnegie gently, 'my people are fond of flowers, are they, Donald? Then you must plant more.'" ittisfdlanrous grading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.

Is out with a new story," said an admirer of the light-hearted, sunshiny Tennessean, "and it is told by the governor at the expense of the Populist party. The governor told the story at Dresden, and repeated it at Memphis to a jovial crowd of friends. Here is the way he put it: '.'Up my way there was a fellow who . came into a car full of men one day and declared that he could tell the politics of eyery man In the car without asking a single question, and asserted that he didn't know a single man there. Well.'Miey told him to cut loose, and he did. He said: "That big fellow over there with the side whiskers and the diamond stud In his shirt front is a Republican." The big fellow with the side whiskers acknowledged It. "And that little fellow in the back seat with the red hair and stubby beard and the snub nose, smoking the clay pipe, is a Democrat." "Ol am thot," said the red-haired man. "And that long, lanky, tallow-faced fellow over there Is a Populist," he continued. The long, lanky fellow rose In wrath and exclaimed: "It's a durn lie; I've had the yaller janders." ?New Orleans Times-Democrat. The Hyperbolical Mosquito.?John E.

Where the Southern railroad bridge spans the river, between Gaffney and Blacksburg, the dry sand extends nearly to the middle of the river on the far side, and the bottom can be seen at almost any place where the water is usually several feet deep. The water in the river at Howe'l's ferry is too low for the ferry boat o run all the time, and consequent very little crossing is done there now. We need a bridge very badly at that place. The business of the c< untry demands it....More than one hundred thousand dollars Is spent for whisky In this county every year. In return we get $14,000 towards our taxes and the school fund. Would it not be better to pay that $14,000 direct and keep the remainder in our pockets? We would keep here one hundred dollars a year that now goes to the distillers of other states. From a financial point of view we would be a great deal better off The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Goforth were pained to learn of the death of their little girl Saturday night, after a short illness with membraneous croup.

McArthur died at his home last Friday night after an illness of one hour. He had attended to his usual duties during the day and went to bed at his usual hour and apparently in his usual health. About nine o'clock he complained of being cold. In spite of the ministrations of Mrs. McArthur, his chilliness grew worse. Noticing that his speech was failing, she called some of the neighbors and also summoned a physician. When Dr. Reld arrived he found the patient beyond help. He was dead within an hour after he was first taken sick. Death was attributed to a spasm caused by kidney disease. Mr. McArthur leaves a wife, but no children. He was the only brother of Mr. S. E. McArthur, who alone survives of that family. On the 15th of last June Mr. McArthur was 51 years of age. He was a member of the Presbyterian church in Gastonla. After services at the residence conducted Saturday morning by Dr. J. C. Galloway, the body was laid to rest In the family burial ground at Olney. ....Mrs. Kate Hovis, wife of Mr. M.

It has been said on good authority that the highest price ever paid for a writing was given a lawyer in this Immediate vicinity. A certain railroad company had lost enormous sums of money through damage suits instituted by those injured In grade crossing accidents. This company had been most particular In the matter of erecting signs at each crossing, but Jury after jury decided that they were of small moment, since the warning they conveyed was to "lookout for the cars" or "look out for the engine," and in almost every instance it was conclusively proved that the damage was caused by that part of the train not mentioned! So In desperation the railroad commissioned a lawyer of wide reDUte to comnose a sien that would "hold" In court. After some days the following sentence, written on a large sheet of paper, came from the man learned In the law: "Stop, look and listen." Following this came a bill 'for $10,000. So when you hear some long tongued Individual boasting about the dollar a word Mr. Kipling gets, or the surprising sum paid Richard Harding Davis for articles describing the war he didn't see, dismiss the being as a dealer In ant-hills, for the lawyer aforementioned got a check for the amount named, and, so far as history enlightens us, no one ever before received so much as $2,500 a word. Before the end of a year the lawyer was informed by the president of the road that the new sign had saved many times its cost. And the point I am especially desirous of making in regard to this sign is its immense value to men and women generally, not only in the matter of saving life and limb, but in the higher sense of getting out of life all there is in it. Stop, look and listen. How many of us do any one of the three? We rush, are blind and close our ears. Then we sue the world for damages. Do we get them??Philadelphia North American. 8UPER8TITION8 OF INDIANS. Their Belief In Ghosts, Witohes and Power of the Medicine Men. The Indian believes there are boa constrictors in the streams of North America, and also that the South American tapir lives in North America. He calls the boa constrictor the iste-acli-war-nayer and calls the tapir nocas-oh mer. The Indian believes he has a cure and preventive for rabies or hydro pnoDia. He aiso Deneves ne can uurc any snake bite on earth, from a ground rattler to a velvet tall or diamond rattler. An Indian never was known to go mad from a dog bite or die from a rattler's bite, while other races succumb to the venom of a snake or go mad from the bite of a rabid dog. The Indian believes that cleansing the stomach each full of the moon by vomiting: gives long life and good health to all who will practice It through life. The Indian, when in battle and fatally wounded, believes that if his medicine man can reach him with his bitter medicine before he dies it will give him Instant relief and he will be able to escape from the battlefield. He thinks every man Is honest until he finds him out, in which event he loses all confidence In him and never gets over It The Indian never makes up after falling out with any one. He may speak as he passes, but dies with the hatred In his heart He belleveB as much or has as much faith In an Indian doctor as the paleface has in his M. D.. The Indian doctor claims he never undertakes to treat a patient unless he thoroughly understands the nature of the case. The red man once believed In witches, but he does not now. He says some old time Indians were witches, but they are not the experts In medicine they once were. He believes that through their medicines was gained the power of witchcraft. The Indian believes In ghosts, but claims that not many are able to see them; some never see them, while others do.?Eufaula Journal. The Longest War.?With slight Intervals for refreshment and rest, the war of the Dutch against the Achlnese has been going on for more than a century, and though the once powerful kingdom of Achln Is now confined to the northwest corner of Sumatra, the natives are still unsubdued. Each expedition sent against the Achlnese, though temporarily successful, has been followed by little lasting benefits, except that attrition has gradually worn away the ancient kingdom. This long war, always conducted with great ferocity on both sides, now seems to have degenerated into a struggle of extermination, in which women and children share the fate of their sons and fathers. The Dutch regard the Achlnese as barbarians, but little can be said for the civilization typified by the Dutch commander who calmly announces as a detail of his victory the slaughter of 281 women and 88 children. Strangely enough, this announcement, instead of being suppressed by the government of \he Netherlands, Is sent broadcast over'the world, accompanied by no adverse comments or a hint of official action against the commanding general of the expedition. And the Dutch capital is the seat of The Hague tribunal, the place from which rules for the amelioration of the condition# of war, its avoidance, and its final extinction, are supposed to emanate.
